About Ricardo
Ricardo Romero-Andrade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Nevada. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, mood disorders such as bipolar, depression, and struggles with addiction. He also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, and life changes.
Ricardo works in a straightforward, collaborative way. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
How Ricardo works
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to cope with current problems rather than abstract labels. With five years of experience as an LCSW, Ricardo has worked with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and communication problems. He also addresses challenges related to chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, cancer, and aging concerns.
His approach is flexible and goal-oriented. He helps people identify patterns that get in the way and develops manageable tools to change them. Work may include improving communication, managing emotions, developing routines for sleep, and reducing substance use when relevant.
People who reach out can expect calm, direct conversation and a focus on what they want to change. Ricardo aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life and to support people as they try new skills and strategies.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Ricardo uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful patterns and teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood instability. This helps people manage distressing thoughts and daily routines.Another element is strengths-based work that draws on a person's existing resources and past successes. That approach helps with recovery from trauma, addiction, relationship strain, and issues like low self-esteem by building small, achievable steps toward goals.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Ricardo will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that match the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text can be a shorter check-in, helpful for quick coping skills or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
